State Member for Wallsend, Ms Sonia Hornery MP, has been attending the end of year presentation days for many of the local schools in the Wallsend electorate.
It has once again highlighted the quality of teaching, education and contribution of young people in our area.
This year is tinged with sadness, however, as Paul Tracey retires from his position as Principal of Callaghan College, Wallsend Campus. He has lead the school with integrity and vision. The student body will no doubt miss his leadership.
